dc.description.abstractThe present study investigated the academic readiness of private school children and its knowledge among teachers. The total sample of the study comprised of 200 children of class-I (i.e. 100 rural and 100 urban) and 100 teachers (i.e. 50 rural and 50 urban) teaching class-I. The sample was randomly selected from five private schools of rural and urban areas of Ludhiana district. Self structured Academic Readiness Checklist was used to assess its different components viz. pre-reading, pre-writing and pre-arithmetic readiness of class-I children. Similarly self structured Teachers‟ Knowledge Questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of rural and urban teachers teaching class-I. The results revealed that most of the urban children were found to have high level of skills in all the domains of academic readiness, whereas rural children were at average level of skills. Locale differences revealed that urban girls and boys displayed better academic readiness skills as compared to rural girls and boys. In rural area, boys performed better than girls while in urban area girls were better than boys in overall academic readiness. The analysis of teachers‟ knowledge regarding academic readiness indicated that urban teachers had better knowledge than rural teachers. Rural and urban teachers with regular degree had better knowledge than their counterparts with correspondence degree. The correlation analysis showed positive and significant relationship of educational qualification as well as teaching experience with knowledge of the teachers which concluded that more the educational qualification and teaching experience of the teachers, better was the knowledge regarding academic readiness in young children.en_US
